Norton written off??? Nooooooooooooooooooo...

Dunno the history but this car used to be parked out the back of my work in Belco daily about 5-6 years ago.

Was owned by a Computer Geek?? Asian fella.

Loved looking at it everyday. Was a Gorgeous Black R32 GTR with vented Bonnet. I'm drooling now!!!

saw it maybe 2 years ago in Mitchell near Gentech.

I have pics...

Well it's a repairable writeoff that is at Pickles. Looks like some serious side and rear end damage. Going halves with a mate depending on cost.

Looks like plenty of bolt ons. Will be having a closer look tmw AM.

Thanks for the pics and replies, it has awesome wheels on it now that would look good on my firdy free but I assume one is cactus.

Cheers

This is the one a pickles right now. I'd never seen it before about 4 months ago when I noticed it parked in the back lot of Pedders in Phillip. Either rear left or rear right (can't remember exactly lol) looked like it had hit a gutter at speed sideways coz the wheel looked like it had about 40 degrees of positive camber. Was there for ages just sitting so when I heard it had ended up at pickles I just assumed that they were assessing the damage.

Hope this helps

The car was pretty rough. A lot of the visible GTR specific stuff had damage or wear. The only thing that looked neat were the seats.

- The original Aluminum bonnet had been cut and vented instead of an entire aftermarket job.

- GTR front bar was damaged

- GTR rear wing was damaged

- GTR front guard was damaged

- GTR rear guard was damaged

- Oil leaks from engine somewhere.

- GTR cradle mounts were broken

- Control arms were bent

- PowerFC hand controller was missing

- Coolant was low or not there

- Dash appeared to be broken or tampered

At that point I bumped into a mate who said they were going to bid more than I was and stopped up looking.

I wondered why it was also not bought back. The damage from the crash was not bad, probably fixed for about 4.5k in a shop. It didn't look stolen/recovered (had an alarm and assumed immobiliser installed), so it was most likely "driven" into the crash. It appeared to have some goodies installed too like the PowerFC, maybe upgraded injectors, had different fuel fittings, an oil cooler, massive exhaust, aftermarket FMIC.

I think fixed, it should sell for at least 12k. I was going to wreck it down with a mate if it was in our price range.

Anyway, I do wonder if my mate bought it. I might try to find out tomorrow.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
